SHARDS OF EARTH (THE FINAL ARCHITECTURE BOOK 1) by Adrian Tschaikovsky

VS Note: Not romance but sounds like a great scifi story. On my TBR List.

And one of humanity’s heroes now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, to avoid the attention of greater powers. After earth was destroyed, mankind created a fighting elite to save their species, enhanced humans such as Idris. In the silence of space they could communicate, mind-to-mind, with the enemy. Then their alien aggressors, the Architects, simply disappeared—and Idris and his kind became obsolete. Now, fifty years later, Idris and his crew have discovered something strange abandoned in space. It’s clearly the work of the Architects—but are they returning? And if so, why? Hunted by gangsters, cults and governments, Idris and his crew race across the galaxy hunting for answers. For they now possess something of incalculable value, that many would kill to obtain.

For them, power always comes at a price. But there is no price for my magic. Power flows through me like water from a tap, and the only hard part is turning it off. I struggle every day not to let it show, but the truth is getting harder to hide. And while lying about the source of my magic might make me lose my friends one day, telling the truth could mean I lose my place at the only home I’ve ever known. But then the Raven King descends on our world, flooding our side of the veil with his strange, fae magic. And when he sees me, really sees me, I feel a pull like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. Suddenly, my own problems seem small in comparison to the threat he poses. And I know I can’t hide my power any longer. I’m sure I have a part to play in this.

THE TALE OF PRINCESS FATIMA: WARRIOR WOMAN: THE ARABIC EPIC OF DHAT al-HIMMA – Melanie Magedow – Editor, Introduction, Translator

Published in English for the first time, and the only Arabic epic named for a woman, The Tale of Princess Fatima recounts the thrilling adventures of a legendary medieval warrior universally known throughout the Middle East and long overdue to join world literature’s pantheon of female heroes. A Penguin Classic – A fearsome, sword-slinging heroine who defeated countless men in stealth attacks on horseback, Dhat al-Himma, or Princess Fatima, was secretly given away at birth because she wasn’t male, only to triumph as the most formidable warrior of her time. Known alternately as “she-wolf,” “woman of high resolve,” and “calamity of the soul,” she lives on in this rousing narrative of female empowerment, in which she leads armies of more than seventy thousand men in clashes between rival tribes and between Muslims and Christians; reconciles with her father after taking him prisoner; and fends off her infatuated cousin, who challenges her to a battle for the right to marry her. Though her cousin suffers an ignominious defeat, he impregnates Fatima against her will and, when she gives birth to a Black son, disowns his own son, who also grows up to be a great warrior, eventually avenging his mother’s honor. The epic culminates in a showdown between Fatima and another formidable warrior woman, and earns Fatima a place alongside the likes of Circe, Mulan, Wonder Woman, Katniss Everdeen and other powerful women.

If you’ve gotta be stuck in a curse with monsters—they might as well be sexy monsters. When I answered an ad for a caretaker at Saint Mark’s Sanctuary I thought I’d be dusting chandeliers and polishing floors. I didn’t expect to be tricked into a curse, going in debt to a monster, and being forced to take a self-paced “Let’s Learn Magic” course so I can fix a two-thousand-year-old problem. And that monster? Not your ordinary, everyday beast. He has hooves, and horns, and fur on his legs. But ya know where he doesn’t have fur? Yeah. There. Which is fine. Except he doesn’t wear pants. Nothing at Saint Mark’s is exactly what it seems. The entire inside is magic, the hallways upstairs are nothing but parties from the past, and the super-hot guy who lives in the dungeon? Yeah. Not human. My name is Pie and all I want is to be a normal girl with an average life. I refuse to get stuck in this curse. I refuse to learn magic to break it. And there is no way in hell I will fall in love with a monster. Famous. Last. Words.      Amazon KU

THE PAST LOVE (THE MACLEOD SCOTTISH TIME TRAVEL ROMCOM SERIES BOOK 2) by J G MacLeod

Brigid MacDonald is a coffee barista with a black belt who’s been transported from 2019 to 15th-century Glasgow, one year earlier than her first adventure in The Future Bride. Time is decidedly ‘out of joint’: Ferghus hasn’t been scarred by Tristen; Nyle hasn’t thrown his disastrous party; and Brigid hasn’t taken a life – yet. Linear reality no longer exists, but nor is this a simple time loop or case of déjà vu. As the mystery slowly unfolds, the characters must choose to work together, or against one another, to resolve their clan feuds and repair their broken hearts. Accompany Brigid on another epic adventure through the Highlands of medieval Scotland. Beware the corsets that bind; the gin that confounds; and the men who ensnare in this lighthearted, romantic comedy with slow-burn romance, karate action, and heart-pounding suspense. If you’re careful, there may even be time for The Past Love. The Past Love can be read as a stand-alone novel, but much of the humour is enhanced by reading The Future Bride first.     Amazon KU

NEOCROMANCY AND NIGHT SWEATS: A PARANORMAL WOMEN’S FICTION NOVEL (THE ORACLE OF WYNTER BOOK 3) by Lisa Manifold

Four weeks ago, a dead man washed ashore. Four days ago, his body disappeared from the morgue. Four hours ago, I was accused of his murder. Unfortunately for me, my last nerve drowned in the sea of my new friend named night sweats. Just when I thought it was safe to step onto my porch, the power of the Oracle has sent another person in need to my stairs. He thinks he’s searching for his missing husband, but the moment I smell him, I know he’s dragging along a curse from a necromancer with a stench strong enough to curl the leg hairs I haven’t had time to shave. 

 Which reminds me—I should probably do some lady grooming before my date.

 And did I mention I have an arraignment in court? For murder? It’s all I can do to put this legal nonsense to bed before the rotten bouquet of necromancy wafts into my world yet again. 

 If one more person says that age is just a number, they’re going to wish they’d disappeared with my last nerve.      Amazon KU

FATED EXILE (WOLF ASCENDANT BOOK 3) by Lucy Auburn

Fate has so much in store for me and my pack. Together, we must defeat an ancient evil. First, we’ll have to get it together. Easier said than done. My mates may be friends, but that doesn’t mean they understand the concept of sharing. And my fifth mate, Bastian, has betrayed us—something that may cost him his place in the pack. But the curse doesn’t care if we’re ready or not. It demands that we give in to fate, or succumb to darkness entirely. Mating isn’t the first or biggest problem on my plate. The dark caverns of the ancient mountains have revealed something unexpected: a missing family member. And my experiments with magic will reveal more than just mating threads at my fingers. All the while, an ancient evil watches and waits to attack. Delphine. The origin of the curse. The evil hanging over us all. The woman who will take everything from me if I’m not careful.     Amazon KU

A LADY WHO LOOKS GOOD WHEN SHE’S CRYING (SUNSHINE AND SPECTER PARANORMAL DETECTIVE AGENCY BOOK 1) by Dan Ackerman

Angels shouldn’t pal around with demons, especially not ones they’ve been sent to assassinate. They shouldn’t work with them or cook them dinner, or strike a deal with the Devil for them either. Sunshine probably isn’t a very good angel. The demon in question is Felix Specter. He’s forgiven Sunshine for stabbing him all those years ago. He’s got a lot on his plate: a curse, his mental health, and a questionable love life. Finding out Sunshine owes the Devil a few favors doesn’t help. Neither did that kiss, not that Felix will talk about it anyway. On top of everything else, Sunshine and Specter have a case to solve. They handle issues that human detectives can’t, like monsters in the sewer, mages doing illegal charms, and runaway witches. But they’ve always dealt with anything the city has to offer. Would could be different this time?

WOLF SHIFTED (EXILED WORLD: THE HOUSE OF THE CRESCENT MOON BOOK 1) by Rebecca Ethington

I’ve been on the run from wolf shifters since the day I was found as the sole survivor of a pack massacre. It would figure that days after my twenty-first birthday I would be abducted off the street and dragged to the one place I don’t want to be. The one place I shouldn’t be if I want to live more than a few days: The High Alpha’s Estate. Every five years the horny old bastard holds a feast where any wolf who has come of age is to shift for the first time. It’s supposed to be a gathering of packs so that wolves can find their fated mates, but Mr. High Alpha likes to use it to inspect all the new shifters and get his pick of the litter. It’s why his pack is so powerful, and why he rules over everyone. It’s also why the female shifters flock to his estate in the hopes of being picked as his mate. Which is yet another reason I shouldn’t be here. I was supposed to be hiding from the High Alpha, but now he seems to be everywhere, and it sure as hell looks like he’s got something planned for me. I need to get out of here, and fast, because what I’ve been running from for the past twelve years is about to explode. If I’m not careful it’s going to take out more than a few wolves, including the one guy who can probably tame my beast. My fated mate. That is, of course, if the High Alpha doesn’t claim me first.    Amazon KU

BIG WITCH ENERGY by Kelly Jamieson

Romy Larson – The tequila made me do it—throw caution to the wind to take a DNA test. Now I know why “who’s your daddy” is a dangerous question. Dad’s a witch, with a whole magical family I knew nothing about. Discovering I have magic isn’t the only shock (though it explains a lot). There’s a familiar face among the noisy, joyful Candler clan. A fostered son named Trace—the only other time in my play-it-safe life I did something crazy. A night of madcap fun and sizzling kisses.     Trace Holcomb – For years, I’ve been trying in vain to find a spell to bring my family back after they died. I’ve given up on magic. What good is it if I can’t do the one thing I want so much? I mistook Romy for my blind date, and it was the best mistake I ever made. Or maybe it’s the worst. When the other shoe—more like the hammer—drops, I learn she’s part of the Candler family, who opened their big hearts to me when my family died. Now it’s up to me to run Romy through a crash course in remedial magic before she loses it forever. That’s the last thing I want to do. As the smoke clears from her first disastrous spells, something else becomes clearer. Our attraction wasn’t a fluke. And she could be the key to making my impossible dream come true.

VS: Next up on my Badari Warrior backlist is GABE. I had fun with this one and sprang a surprise I’ve had planned since the beginning of the series, as far as the total lack of female Badari. I also thought this cover model embodied the character of Gabe, a hotshot pilot, former Special Forces soldier with no intention of ever settling down, perfectly.

GABE (A BADARI WARRIORS SCIFI ROMANCE NOVEL): Sectors New Allies Series Book 5

Gabe Carter, hotshot pilot and ex-Special Forces soldier, is far from his home in the human Sectors, kidnapped by alien scientists to be the subject of horrifying experiments. Shot down by the enemy over desolate territory far from his Badari allies and gravely injured, Gabe’s only hope is a mysterious woman on the run herself.

Keshara has to decide whether to abandon the human to die of his injuries on a windswept mountain top or give up her own quest for freedom and take him to a place he can be helped. The undeniable spark between them complicates matters.

His attraction to her is off the charts but when she betrays him to the Khagrish enemy, Gabe doesn’t know what to believe. Trapped inside an alien lab bursting with mysteries and lies, his only hope may be to trust her…again.

Because the renegade alien scientist running her own private experiments wants to use him to accomplish her goals and perpetuate the evil, no matter what she has to do to ensure his compliance. Keshara’s life hangs in the balance and Gabe has to make a choice.

“New” is generally plus or minus a week or two. I try to catch up on ones I missed in recent months.  And I may mention ‘special items’.

I do NOT cover every single new release in SFR/FantasyR/PNR. I never have. That would be an impossible task for any human! I assemble my list by hand every week based on various informal inputs, and I do curate the list to some extent…

Some authors aren’t in KU but still don’t list books with Apple or other platforms. This report is very time consuming to prepare so I’ve always had to limit myself and cannot go and look up every book on all the platforms. If an author gives me their other buy links, I include them here but generally I develop the post on my own, not from author-supplied information. I curate and prepare this post individually every week to help connect readers/books/authors and I have to be very careful not to give it so much time as an activity that I don’t write my own novels! Thanks for the feedback and happy reading!

I check and verify all the buy links at the time I create the post  but after that I’m not responsible.
